After struggling through the first chapter dealing with subjects, verbs, direct objects, indirect objects, predicate nouns, and predicate adjectives, the students in English IA are ready for a change of pace. It just so happens that we started today on the shortest and easiest chapter of the year. Today, they are working on correcting sentence fragments; tomorrow they will work on fixing run-on sentences. Friday will be the Chapter Review, and Monday will be the test. Hopefully, this test will go better for them, and their grades will improve accordingly.
